  • Title: Neuroleptic malignant syndrome.
    Author: Bristow MF, Kohen D.
    Journal: Br J Hosp Med; ; 55(8):517-20. PubMed ID: 8732227.
    Abstract:
    Neuroleptic malignant syndrome is a rare, idiosyncratic condition related to neuroleptic use which may develop at any stage during neuroleptic treatment and can prove fatal. Although most commonly seen in psychiatric patients, anyone prescribed a neuroleptic is at risk and it has been associated with other agents. This article discusses its recognition, risk factors, clinical course and treatment, together with a summary of current thinking on its aetiology.
